Podcast production with generative tools
This skill covers producing a finished, publishable podcast episode when some or all of the audio is machine-generated. It is provider-neutral: it names TTS engines, music libraries, and hosts only as illustrative options, never as the method. The craft — format design, writing for the ear, voice direction, structure, rights, loudness, delivery, disclosure, and QA — is the same regardless of which tool renders the audio.
An episode is done when it (1) serves a defined show and audience, (2) sounds intentional and consistent, (3) uses only audio you have the right to distribute, (4) meets the loudness and file specs of its target platforms, (5) ships correct RSS metadata plus a transcript, (6) carries any legally or platform-required AI disclosure, and (7) has passed a listen-through QA. Skipping any of these is a defect, not a shortcut.
